Under the Radar shines a light on lesser-known cover artists. If you’re not listening to these folks, you should. Catch up on past installments here. They've been called "the ABBA of bluegrass punk," and their label's beautifully written artist page says they're "doing their best to keep bluegrass from tottering meekly into a dust-covered coffin." They're the Meat Purveyors, and while their name may suggest a Victorian butcher shop, one listen to their musicianship and you'll know that butchering is the last thing on their mind. Currently on some kind of hiatus (nobody's saying they broke up, as they've called [...]
Why don't more people talk about Sheena Easton? Why do I never hear her songs anywhere I go unless they're playing on my iPod. Why doesn't she get more love? It's not like she was a one-hit wonder, or some obscure also-ran. At her peak, she was every bit as huge as Belinda Carlisle, an equally beautiful but less gifted singer. (Fun fact: She was born Sheena Shirley Orr, meaning that she shares a maiden name and a professional surname -- from her first husband -- with two members of the Cars, Elliot Easton and [...]

Filed under: News AP Photo, NBC-TV NEW YORK (AP) - Elvis is back in the building - the hologram version , that is. Like the much-hyped Tupac Shakur hologram that debuted at the Coachella music festival, Elvis Presley will get the virtual treatment by the same company that made the late rapper's lifelike hologram . Digital Domain Media Group announced Wednesday it is [...]
Physical copies of music are passe in today's digital music world, and now physical musicians are no longer a requirement. After a hologram (or, more accurately, a "holographic image") of Tupac Shakur became the watercooler moment from both weekends of Coachella 2012, an Elvis Presley hologram is in the works for a series of entertainment projects. The "virtual Elvis likeness" will be created by Digital Domain Media Group, the creators behind the Tupac hologram. The company, also responsible for [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive Hulton Archive Bruce Springsteen 's Born in the U.S.A. album is, and has always been, a big deal. The album had seven Top 10 singles in the U.S., a high water mark matched only by Michael Jackson 's Thriller album. More importantly, the album stirred up tremendous passions in Americans. Politicians like then-President Ronald Reagan and [...]
It's been a few weeks since we've heard any new developments on the dead-musicans-turned-to-hologr ams front , but today, The Hollywood Reporter brings news that Digital Domain Media Group, the creators behind the Tupac hologram , will begin producing a "series of 'virtual' Elvis likenesses for a range of entertainment projects." Digital Domain recently struck a deal with Core Media, the company who acquired Elvis' likeness in 2011. The plan is to create virtual Elvis's for film, television, and other venues. "Concerts appear to be a clear possibility," as [...]
I'm not a huge metalhead, but it's hard not to get sucked into That Metal Show when I come across it on VH-1 Classic (which is often the case on weekday mornings before work). Hosts Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson are crazy about metal - and with their lively discussions, album & artist list rankings, and the variety of guests they bring into the studio for interviews - it's hard not to get caught up in their passion for the music. Last week, Alice Cooper dropped by the show for an interview, and [...]
What do you get the Elvis fan who has everything?

Transportation and funeral home charges are not included. It wasn't just Elvis - his mother Gladys also was there for a while, [...]

Very much in the same vein as a DJ set we'll start off with some more laid back sounds and then gradually work you up into a cowbell [...]
Blue suede shoes - Elvis Presley I have no idea what blue suede shoes are. No conception. I guess they're shoes, blue ones, made from suede; but as far as being something you'd allow someone to do anything as long as they don't step on them... what are they? I'm not very cool. There's a symbolism i'm missing here. It's Elvis Presley's (and therefore a generation's) Cristal, Mercedes-Benz, Adidas, etc.
So how many versions of this song (played at the Etihad Stadium before every home game) do you know...? » Supra - Blue Moon (Man City Version) Probably far less than you thought. Below are a good number I've collected and this is still the tip of the iceberg. There are still more out there. Before we begin though, one more Man City version - this to celebrate the FA Cup win [...]
